Distributed Learning

Abbotsford Virtual school is a Distributed Learning (DL) designated school. Enrollment, as defined by the Ministry of Education in the DL program means:

Students are enrolled in a public or independent school distributed learning program where the majority of the learning takes place at a distance.

The DL program is the responsibility of the public or independent school

The DL program is directed and supervised by a British Columbia- certified teacher (parents may assist in facilitating the learning process, but are not the teachers)

The DL program must meet provincial BC standards as outlined in the School Act or Independent School Act

Students must receive on-going regular assessments, report cards, provincial letter grades and a permanent student record, as would a student in a neighbourhood school.

All curriculum and resources used for your child's program must be strictly secular (non-religious in nature) as per the School Act.

We also act as a resource for many Homeschooled children. You can visit the Ministry of Education website for further information on Distributed Learning and the differences with Homeschooling programs.
